Days ago, Palden Choetso walked out of her nunnery, covered herself in petrol and set herself on fire while pleading for a 'free Tibet'. Minutes later she died. In the past month, nine monks and nuns have self-immolated to protest a growing Chinese crackdown on the peaceful Tibetan people.
These tragic acts are a desperate cry for help. Machine gun-toting Chinese security forces are beating and disappearing monks, laying siege to monasteries, and even killing elderly people defending them -- all in an effort to suppress Tibetan rights. China severely restricts access to the region. But if we can get key governments to send diplomats in and expose this growing brutality, we could save lives.
We have to act fast -- this horrific situation is spiraling out of control behind a censorship curtain. Over and over we have seen that when diplomats themselves bear witness to atrocities, they are motivated to act, and increase political pressure. Let’s answer Palden's tragic cry and build a massive petition to the six world leaders with the most influence in Beijing to send a mission to Tibet and speak out against the repression. Sign the urgent petition by going to the link above!
To Presidents Barack Obama and Nicolas Sarkozy, Prime Ministers David Cameron, Julia Gillard and Manmohan Singh, and EU Commissioner Catherine Ashton:
A rising number of Tibetans are taking their lives through self immolation in a desperate cry to the world to stop the escalating Chinese crackdown. As shocked citizens, we call on you to urgently send an independent high-level mission to the area and to speak out against the ongoing repression. Only coordinated and swift diplomatic action can stop this crisis.
To Barak Obama, Nicolas Sarkozy, Prime Ministers David Cameron that is those who had deliberately tested their new wesponry on innocent victims in Lybia and those who had stolen the Lybian oil, Julia Gillard the Prime Minister who considers that China is an enemy while China is her country's engine of economic growth, to T Blair the one who said that there were WMD in Iraq and to all those who tolerate the Israeli repression in Palestine:
We also make a desperate call to ask for an independent enquiry on the civilian killings in Cachemire, to send an independent high level mission in Indian occupied Cachemire to speak out against the ongoing silent repression, again only vigourous and swift diplomatic action can stop the crisis. We make an appeal for an urgent high level mission to Palestine to investigate on the current civilians killings and repression in Palestine by the Israeli soldiers and Government. We ask a high level mission to enquire about the repression on Naxalite-Maoist insurgency by Indian soldiers using Israeli weaponry. We implore Manmohan Singh to set an independent enquiry to investigate if the growing appetite of the Indian army and the Indian Governemnt for the massive weapon procurement from the US is not tainted with corruption and backshish while millions of Black Indians are living in abject porverty with no health care, sanitation, toilets and basic education and who continue to pee and defaecate in public places which are a shame to humanity. We ask a commission enquiry for the current infrastructure build up in the Chinese and pakistanese borders while the whole country has a crumbling infrastructure with no decent roads, railways, housing etc. We also ask an enquiry why there is is such a prompt intervention in Lybia and no NATO military intervention at all on Syria while there are deliberate killings of civilians. By the way we ask who had ordered the execution of Ghaddafi and his son while they could be judged and ask to explain their past closed relationship with Obama, Sarkhozy and Berlusconi.

As long as it is in China, we are free to do anything.
Not only in Tibet, all China's minorities have higher social benefits than Han.
Compare what India did in kashmir, how can you Indians criticize China who has made every effort to develop Tibet.
Mourners riot over Kashmir protest deaths
SRINAGAR, India, August 13 - Angry Muslims mourning at least 20 protesters killed by police torched security bunkers and rioted in Indian Kashmir’s main city on Wednesday, as a land row with Hindus revived calls for independence.
Police fired teargas shells to disperse thousands of Muslim protesters who defied a curfew at several places across Kashmir Valley, police said.
They said over two dozen people were injured in clashes between stone-throwing protesters and police.
A curfew remained in force in much of the valley after some of the biggest protests since a separatist revolt against Indian rule broke out in 1989 over what Muslim traders said was an economic blockade of their region by Hindus in adjoining Jammu.
The land dispute has polarised Indian Kashmir, split between the Muslim-majority Kashmir valley and the Hindu-dominated region around Jammu city, severely curbing trade between the two areas.
In downtown Srinagar several thousand mourners, shouting ”There is no god but Allah” and ”We want freedom” attended a funeral of two protesters killed by police on Tuesday.
The mourners set fire to roadside bunkers and hoisted green Islamic flags.
Shops and businesses were closed in Kashmir’s summer capital of Srinagar and special prayers were being held in mosques and homes. Police and soldiers dressed in battle gear patrolled deserted streets, often blocked with barbed wire.
Kashmir’s main separatist alliance, the All Parties Hurriyat (Freedom) Conference, called on Wednesday for peaceful protests. One of their leaders was among this week’s dead.
”Don’t give (the) oppressor any chance to use brute force, to shower bullets. Continue protests peacefully,” said Mirwaiz Umar Farooq, Hurriyat’s chairman.
The dispute began after the Kashmir government promised to give forest land to the trust that runs Amarnath, a cave shrine visited by Hindu pilgrims. Many Muslims were enraged.
The government then rescinded its decision, which in turn angered Hindus in Jammu who attacked lorries carrying supplies to Kashmir valley and blocked the region’s highway, the only surface link between the valley and the rest of India.
The clashes have presented Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s embattled government, already hit by inflation and a spate of unsolved bombings this year, with one of its biggest tests as it battles to cool religious tensions.
Challenging what residents said was a blockade, tens of thousands of Kashmiris marched to the de facto border with neighbouring Pakistan on Monday to sell their goods, sparking the deadly clashes with police.
The communal tensions of the region have not stoked passions elsewhere in the country but people fear general elections due next year could lead to the politicisation of the issue.
Flag-waving Hindu protesters halted traffic on Wednesday along highways leading into the capital New Delhi.
Indian authorities have denied any ”economic blockade” and say trucks, guarded by policemen and soldiers, are plying the Kashmir valley route.
Hindu protests have shut down Jammu for more than a month. On Wednesday Hindu groups blocked highways and stopped trains in several northern Indian cities, demanding the land back.
Violence in Kashmir had fallen after India and Pakistan, which claim the disputed Himalayan territory in full but rule in parts, began a peace process in 2004.
But the turmoil in Kashmir threatens to further endanger the already sputtering process, analysts say.

SRINAGAR, Indian-controlled Kashmir, Sept. 18 -- The civilian death toll in police and paramilitary shooting on protesters across Indian- controlled Kashmir Saturday crossed the 100 mark with the killing of another youth.
The killing took place in Anantnag town, 60 km south of Srinagar city, the summer capital of Indian-controlled Kashmir.
Police spokesman said the youth was part of a violent mob which tried to ransack house of a pro-Indian political party leader in curfew-bound area .
Locals denying the police claim said police and India's paramilitary Central Reserve Police Force Personnel (CRPF) fired at a funeral procession Saturday morning, killing a civilian on spot and wounding 12 others.
Police identified the slain youth as 23-year-old Noor-ul-Amin *****.
Hundreds of people including women and children defied curfew restrictions in the town to participate in the funeral of a 17- year-old boy Maroof Ahmad Nath, whose body was fished out from a river early Saturday. Nath, according to locals, drowned last week in the neighborhood river during a police and paramilitary chase to quell the anti-India protest in the town.
The relentless protests have been going on in the region over the past three months and police in a bid to break them, usually resorts to firing tear smoke shells or bullets.
Police and paramilitary action to quell such protests trigger clashes, with irate youth hurling stones and brick pieces and in retaliation getting targeted either by tear smoke shells or bullets, which often prove fatal.
"Police action either results in wounding or killing people. Since the protests broke out, we have been witnessing the graph of number of injured and number of dead going up," said a doctor posted at Srinagar's premier health Institute SKIMS.
The hospitals usually remain overburdened because of the growing number of injured. There is no official data available about the number of injured over the last three months.
However, unconfirmed data says more than 1,000 people including police and CRPF men have got injured. Hospitals are facing shortage of some medicines.
The health officials at main hospital in Srinagar last Monday appealed people to come forward to donate blood as hospital's blood bank was running short of blood supply.
Anti-India sentiment runs deep in the psyche of majority of Kashmiris and each death is pushing the region on edge and triggering fresh wave of protests.
Experts say the ongoing summer protests have given a new edge to the two-decade old revolt in the Himalayan region.
"These protests have given a new dimension to the Kashmir revolt, which can't be easily demonised, even in a world obsessed with fighting terrorism. These stone throwing young men have changed the paradigm of the conflict, where even government of India talks about popular anger and legitimate aspiration," said Showkat Ali, a political analyst in Srinagar.
Some protesters have taken the fight to virtual world and are seen very active on social networking sites and Internet. These Web-savvy protesters usually upload videos and photographs of police brutality and mass protests on YouTube and Facebook, thereby triggering debates and discussions.
Both local government and New Delhi is battling hard to contain the protests.
Meanwhile, around the clock curfew is in force across all the Muslim dominated areas of the region for the seventh straight day to contain large scale protests.
Thousands of CRPF personnel in full-riot gear have been deployed along the streets and roads of towns to enforce restrictions. These men have laid barricades and concertina on roads and intersections to restrict civilian movement.
Locals said police vehicles fitted with public address systems announced curfew and warned residents against defying it.
People living in the curfew bound areas are complaining dearth of eatables, milk, baby food and medicines.
The two major English language newspapers of the region, " Greater Kashmir" and "Rising Kashmir", have not been able to bring out newspaper editions for the past five days in the wake of strict curfew. The dailies have limited their activity to bring news updates on their websites.
Police Saturday afternoon announced a relaxation of curfew in some localities of Srinagar, but life in the region remained affected either due to strike calls from separatists or curfew imposed by authorities since June 11.
Separatists are demanding end of New Delhi's rule in the region.
Hurriyat Conference spearheading the agitation is currently running a "Quit Kashmir movement" seeking withdrawal of Indian army from the region. The conglomerate has been rolling out strike programs on weekly basis as part of its protest demonstration.
Hardline separatist leader Syed Ali Shah Geelani has asked people to hold peaceful protests outside army garrisons and camps in the region on Sept. 21.
According to Geelani, people should hand over letters to the stationed soldiers asking them to leave. However, Indian army spokesman said that separatists are misleading the public.
Police spokesman in a statement to media on Saturday evening said that besides Anantnag, another was killed during clashes at Palhallan Pattan, 32 km northwest of Srinagar city.
Meanwhile, An all party 35-member delegation of Indian politicians from New Delhi on a fact-finding mission to the region to know "ground realities" is likely to visit Srinagar on Monday, media reports said.
Local newspapers chronicling the deaths Saturday said 103 deaths have taken place in last 100 days across the region.
